At our September 4th science fiction program, Adam Rakunas stopped by our microphone to read from his story “The Right People,” and it sounded a little like this… If you liked that, be sure to read the full story at……

Comment on The Zazzle Emails by Catherine Sherman

I’ve fought with Zazzle, too. Zazzle continues to remove my Eagle Scout products at the request of the Boy Scouts of America, even though the phrase “Eagle Scout” is not copyrighted. Many non-BSA Eagle Scout products remain on Zazzle, so I don’t know why some like mine are singled out.
Here’s a post I wrote on my struggle over a Mark Twain quote. http://catherinesherman.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/intellectual-property-rights/
The worst was when I received this comment on my most popular product.

THE IMAGE USED TO CREATE THIS PRODUCT WAS COPIED AND STOLEN FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHTS TO USE THIS IMAGE. YOU ARE HERBY ORDERED TO REMOVE THIS PRODUCT AND ALL PRODUCTS CONTAINING THIS IMAGE WITHIN 48 HOURS OR YOU WILL FACE LEGAL ACTION. AS A RESULT OF YOUR VIOLATIONS YOU MAY FACE YOUR ACCOUNT BEING DELETED AS PUNISHMENT. THIS IS A FIRST AND FINAL NOTICE.

I now think it was a scam. Of course, I deleted all of the related products, like an idiot. I should have known that since the warning came as a comment that it wasn’t official, but it scared me. I emailed Zazzle about it but I never heard back. I chalked it up to my stupidity. Still, I’m afraid to re-submit products with that design. I had created this image, a tie-dye pattern, from a photograph of a one-of-a-kind tie-dye pattern on a shirt that was more than 20 years old. It was impossible that it belonged to anyone else.

Surely you must be joking.
